The Bobby Hutcherson Quartet February 13, 2010

Throughout his prolific 35-year career, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson has proven to be one of the most innovative and endearing figures in contemporary jazz. His adventurous Blue Note recordings of the 1960s helped to expand the use of the vibes in jazz, by bringing together free-jazz melodic ideas with a pure capacity for swinging. Today, Hutchersons performance schedule keeps him globe-trotting most of the year, a testament to his international stature as one of the most innovative jazz artists of our time. For their Opera House debut, The Quartet will be featuring work from the new CD, Wise One.
